Prevalence of acute kidney injury in Mexico; a systematic review and meta-analysis of pre-pandemic reports by Jose J. Zaragoza, Jonathan S. Chavez-Iñiguez, Armando Vazquez-Rangel

“…The percentage of AKI was calculated at 35% (95% CI, 28–42). Mortality for AKI adult patients was 36% (95% CI, 28–45). An overall KRT rate was 7% (95% CI, 6–9), all-cause mortality for AKI requiring KRT was 49% (95% CI, 42–56), with a global Ι2 estimated in 99.87% (p < 0.01).Conclusion AKI is common in Mexico and remains a main public health problem that needs to be addressed at every level of care. …”

SHOX and sex difference in height: a hypothesis by Tsutomu Ogata, Atsushi Hattori, Maki Fukami

“…In this regard, previous studies have revealed that (1) distribution of the mean adult heights in subjects with disorders accompanied by discordance between sex chromosome complement and bioactive sex steroids and in control subjects (the British height standards) indicates that, of the ~12.5 cm of sex difference in the mean adult height, ~9 cm is accounted for by the difference in the sex chromosome complement and the remaining ~3.5 cm is explained by the dimorphism in sex steroids (primarily due to the growth-promoting effect of gonadal androgens); (2) according to the infancy-childhood-puberty growth model, the sex difference in the childhood growth function produces height differences of ~1 cm in childhood and 8–10 cm at 18–20 years of age, whereas the sex difference in the pubertal growth function yields height difference of ~4.5 cm at 18–20 years of age; and (3) SHOX expression and methylation analyses using knee cartilage tissues and cultured chondrocytes have shown lower SHOX expression levels in female samples than in male samples and methylation patterns consistent with partial spreading of X-inactivation affecting SHOX in female samples. …”
